Single-leg 'Good-morning' & 'RDL'
Bodyweight (BW) unilateral leg-strength
•
2m 42s

The 'Pistol-squat'
THE WHAT:
A bodyweight squat, performed on one leg. Rather than simply an expression of raw strength, however, its controlled execution is significantly facilitated, or "blocked", by the in-/availability of lower-body ranges.As with the 'Shrimp squat', restrictions in ankle dorsiflexion prevent...

The 'Deck-squat' (unilateral)
THE WHAT & HOW:
